Fever
Jack woke, feeling considerably more refreshed than he had any right to be after a five-day bout of the flu. Of course, the glass of orange juice sitting on the bedside table spoke quite plainly how much of his recovery was owed to the very talented nurses who'd assisted him through his illness: his most favorite blue-eyed blondes. The taller of the two was the gorgeous lady who'd married him, while the shorter was the cute little imp he was fortunate to call his son.
In truth, Sara was his wife again, having happily re-married him after a nine-year separation. Their reunion was brought about by the irresistible charm of Jack's former best friend-turned-five year-old, Daniel. Jack O'Neill was one lucky man, and he knew it.
Smiling, he sat up in bed, pushing the pillow behind his lower back as he moved. A lump under the covers to his right showed that his ever-vigilant guardian by day—aka Danny—had fallen asleep on watch, burrowing beneath the quilt. Jack frowned. Danny was normally a snuggler, wasn't he? Reaching out a hand to check on the little guy, his eyes widened in fear and surprise.
Daniel was burning up.
